Excursions from Florence

From Florence, visit one of the wonders of the world - the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and the beautiful monuments that surround it. If you’re fit enough, you can climb the 294 steps to the top! Combine Pisa with a visit to historic Lucca. Walk along its 6th century walls, then taste some delicious local pastries.

There are several wine tasting options to chose from, some including lunch or dinner, travelling through the rolling hills and vineyards of the Chianti region, visiting picturesque towns like Siena and Greve and enjoying the products of traditional wineries.

See coastal areas like Cinque Terre, walking  through the five quaint  pastel coloured fishing villages nestling on the hillside. Have lunch there and later, dinner with wine in vineyard country, or visit Assisi, in Perugia province, where Italy’s patron saint,  St. Francis, and St. Clare found their vocations, and Cortona, one of the oldest hill towns in Tuscany.
